News & larger Distro Update

The Back Then 7"es are done and have been sent from the pressing plant to the BTR HQ on tuesday. They are supposed to arrive on friday! These will be out sometime during the weekend and you can pre-listen to the entire single on the Back Then Bandcamp page. Covers are already here, take a look!

I'm very happy to announce that i'll be doing a EU Version of ((prmtv-ccmltn))'s 8 Track Demo Tape called "Drive For Return To Inorganic Matter". You thought that you heard everything in noisy raw'n'distorted punk? Uh-uh sir, you've been terribly wrong! Primitive Accumulation will take you to a level of rawness that you have never dared to dream about - period! The BTR version will have a revised cover artwork and will come on coloured pro tapes with stickers.

Here are some words from the great RABM Blog about the tape:

"Primitive Accumulation, or ((prmtv-ccmltn)), are a band from Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada, whose first demo cassette "Drive for Return to Inorganic Matter" came out in December of 2011. Musically they're influenced by raw black metal, power violence/fastcore, noise and "other weird shit we can get our hands on" (c); politically - by the ideas of Marx, Marcuse, Negri, Deleuze, Guattari and the New Left in general. The demo consists of 8 short tracks, but it's mixed in one long track here. I'd recommend it to fans of very raw, primitive USBM, and noisecore."

Coming to the distro: got a lot of stuff floating around here for a while, but i've been to busy to make a proper distro update till now. Got the great Life Ends / Slump 12" in, which sadly is the very last release of Life Ends because they suffered the terrible loss of their singer Daniel at the end of january. The Split 12" was supposed to be published for a planned Life Ends & Slump tour in 2012, but due to the sudden passing, the vinyl was made in memory of Daniel Blage. Been released by Kink, Fucking Kill, Vulgar and Useless Records.

Also got some other stuff in from Vulgar Records in form of the hilarious Doktor Bitch / Schnauzer 7" and the new edition of Sille's own fanzine called "Schreikrampf", celebrating the 15 year anniversary of Schreikrampf & Vulgar Records. This special issue of Schreikrampf comes with a super cool compilation 7" that features bands like Brody's Militia, Agathocles or Corrosive and is housed in a printed A4+ letter. Be warned: the zine is entirely in German, but the compilation alone is worth the price!

Next we have some goodies from Shitpiece Records, a very kewl fellow Austrian who is also co-releasing the Back Then 7" with me. Got the fabulous Coup D'Etat 12" (already sold out), the first LP from Austria's Boredom (who previously put out a split 12" with Rivers Run Dry) and the Perspectives 7" from Empty Handed (two different versions of genious looking, marbled colour vinyls).

And last but not least, three smashing tape releases you shouldn't miss out! The great Drunk with Power, operated by Nikita from Russia, again suprise with two awesome new releases. This time it's the demo of Russian HC/Punkers Minefield and a new tape from Unbroken Bones, who indeed play awesome Broken Bones'esque MetalPunk. RF/HC (Russian Federation Hardcore) rules! Also don't miss your chance to lay your fingers upon a copy of the great "The future doesn't need you" tape of Gripe. This Powerviolence / Grindcore band is on a roll right now and will have a lot more good stuff be coming out soon!
